Steel pipe manufacturer with operations across three continents
Borusan Pipe US operates a capital-intensive manufacturing footprint (11 facilities across three continents, 2,800+ employees globally) with a US workforce focused on lean and MES deployment. Current hiring is heavily weighted toward junior manufacturing roles (18 of 30 active postings), suggesting either production ramp or high churn mitigation; the tech stack (Allen-Bradley PLCs, Siemens, SAP, Oracle, MES) reveals a push toward real-time plant monitoring and process control rather than digital transformation. Active projects center on downtime reduction, KPI improvement, and supply-chain optimization—operational efficiency is the primary lever.
